It would appear to work. dhcpcd is now also asking for a DHCPv6 lease, and
getting one :D

I now also realise why stateless autoconfiguration already worked with the
unpatched version. Even without dhcpcd running the address and route
information was being processed, so apparantly the kernel is already
processing the RAs. But you no doubt already knew this.

Thanks! I can do more testing on other devices as well if you like? I don't
expect any difference, but it might be prudent.

Regards,
Maarten
